Elara | Lace Bodice Formal Maxi Dress
Lace Panel Maxi Dress for Fall Holiday parties and Holiday Evenings
Meet Elara, a sleek lace panel maxi dress that pairs a softly ruched bandeau bust with a sheer lace midsection and a smooth floor-length skirt. The see-through lace adds just enough skin and texture, finished with a subtle cutout at the hip. It is an easy choice as a fall party dress, a holiday dress for parties, or an elegant evening dress for a special dinner.

- Cut/Fit: Close-fitting through the body, flowing into a straight column skirt that flares gently at the hem.
- Length: Floor-length maxi.
- Details/Finish: Sheer lace midriff panel and a small side cutout at the hip.

Styling Tips
- Wear the burgundy or brown shade with strappy gold heels and a quilted mini bag for a fall celebration.
- Throw a tailored black blazer over the black version and add pointed pumps for a holiday party.
- Layer a long camel coat and sleek heeled boots over any color for a chic dinner date on a chilly night.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cold machine cycle in a laundry bag, and dry flat. Treat the lace gently and check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
This dress is designed for a close, body-skimming fit through the bust and hips, as shown in the photos. Choose your usual size for the intended look; if you prefer a little more room through the hips, consider sizing up.
